Mother and daughter Cheryl and Kea Angel are on a mission: To make their new Zoie Claire’s Bakery & Bistro on Placer Street in Redding a mecca for diners in search of gluten-free, vegan and paleo fare — from wraps and salads to donuts, cookies and cupcakes.

“All the baked goods are gluten-free, no artificial colors,” Cheryl Angel boasted, showing me a plate of donuts when a friend and I dropped by for lunch late last week. (Zoie Claire’s is across Placer Street from the Shasta Community Health Center, just east of downtown.)
